Graduation Reviews
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
Writer-director Cristian Mungiu continues his expert evisceration of his native Romania, and by extension, this whole rotten world and the people who make it that way, even as they convince themselves otherwise.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"Graduation" has a lot on its mind, but is told in such an intimate way it's like eavesdropping on a conversation: the closer you listen, the more you'll hear.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
This is a tough film that deals with serious issues, and that may hurt its box-office chances. But "Graduation" will probably be around long after less challenging fare is forgotten.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
The acting is outstanding; Mungiu's straightforward dialogue and naturalistic shooting make for a movie that feels genuine, with no false steps.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
To Mungiu's credit, he makes it clear that, although the film is set in Romania, its moral quandaries could be taking place anywhere.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
It feels like nothing's happening until you realize everything is, right before your eyes.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
In Graduation, Mungiu takes a scalpel and dissects life in modern Romania.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
The power of the film is cumulative, as the filmmaker spins a mesmerizing morality tale from the dross of daily life. In his skillful hands, the ordinary turns out to be anything but.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
It's consistently absorbing and well-acted, and Mungiu's camera makes even simple police station interrogations or drive-around sequences unassuming things of beauty.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
[Graduation] is a masterfully composed effort that is instantly fascinating, moving towards its emotionally hushed conclusion with breathless, if still unhurried, intensity.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
Graduation may not occupy a place at the top of the class of contemporary Eastern European cinema like some of Mungiu's other films, but it definitely sits above the curve.
Film Comment Magazine
Michael Sragow
Mastering a movie equivalent of a detached first-person point of view, Mungiu unearths hidden depths in the supporting characters while creating a three-dimensional portrait of Romeo as a man who no longer lives in quiet desperation.
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
Mungiu eschews music almost entirely, his takes run long enough that viewers are forced to take in the frame's details and figure out which are important, and his flatly matter-of-fact conversations almost never include obvious exposition.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
The writer-director, Mr. Mungiu, is a master of ramification; his films start off as plain tales, told with seeming simplicity, then they deepen into complex psychology and spread out into contemporary culture.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
Bleak, naturalistic and flawlessly acted, "Graduation" distills the mood and moral decay of a place whose gray skies and nondescript housing blocks feel like permanent reminders of its dark history.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Emily Yoshida
Mungiu is almost sadistically patient in letting this play out; by the last 40 or so minutes you can more or less see where it's all headed, even if it's through your fingers.
Village Voice
Bilge Ebiri
Graduation is about relatively mundane occurrences, but as Romeo is pulled further and further from his moral certainty, the film becomes incredibly gripping and unsettling.
Salon.com
Gary M. Kramer
Mungui may burden his protagonist with myriad problems, but the film never folds under the weight. "Graduation" is compelling throughout because Titieni conveys Romeo's anxieties through body language and facial expression.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
To director Cristian Mungiu, Romania is not just a country - it's a state of mind. His latest is a gripping thriller that shows his social-realist concern for people who believe they can't raise their position based on merit alone.
RogerEbert.com
Godfrey Cheshire
A thoroughgoing masterpiece which offers proof that Romania's cinematic upsurge remains the most vital and important national film movement of the current century.
